Steven Buckner Out and Back In

Level 4: 300 / 500 ante: 500

In a classic preflop raise, Steven Buckner is all-in and at risk versus Harsh Bubna with Q Q versus A K . The K K 7 8 6 runout gives Bubna trips kings and he covers.


"Don't worry, that's how I run," Buckner says. The Coke Light he ordered arrives that moment and he re-enters almost instantly.
